HOLDER FOR YARN CONES. 4

Original application filed April 8, 1926,

This invention, relates to an improved holder for a cone of yarn, and aims to provide a simple device for-holding a cone of,

yarn firmly in desired position, and one to which the cone of yarn may be readily and quickly applied, and from which it'may be as easily removed.

The holder may be used to support a cone of yarn in a dyeing machine, such as that shown in my No. 100,486, filed April 8, 1926,0f which the present application is a division, or for holding a cone of yarn for any other desired purpose.

The invention will be described with reference to the annexed drawing showing a holder embodying the invention, and on the holder, a cone of yarn sectioned on the axis of the holder.

The cone holder illustrated has a rod 10 of materially less diameter than the core C of a cone oi yarn C to be supported on the holder. The rod 10 carries at its outer end, an adjustable plunger 11 having a frustoconical head 12 for engaging the core of the cone at or near its smaller end. At the inner end of the rod 10 is a gripping member '13 for engaging the core of the cone at or near its larger end. The member 13 has a threaded outer surface which forms a corresponding thread in the inner surface of the cardhoard core C when the core is screwed The rod 10 is supported from its inner end in any desired manner, for example, the inner end of the rod may be provided with an integral extension or shaft 14 which may convenient support, hearing, or socket.

In the use of the holder, the plunger 152. is adjusted in accordance with the length ofthe cones to be mounted. A cone may a then be mounted on the holder very quickly and easily, as it is necessary only to slip its core over the rod 10 and then screw the larger end of the core upon the threaded .member 13 until the inner end of the core is brought into firm contact with the head .12. The core and the yarn are then firmly held in fixed relation to the rod 10. To recopending application, Serial- Serial No. 100,486., Divided and thls'applieation an milcit e 1927. Serial No. 175,081.

1. A holder for acone, of yarn, compris mg a rod of less diameter than the core of the cone, and a frusto-conical member having a sharp projecting screw thread and fixed on said rod at such distance from the end of the rod that the larger end of the core of the cone may be screwed upon said vmember so asltodraw the inner end of the core into contact with the end of the rod. 1

2. A holder for a cone of yarn, compris-T ing a mandrel having afrusto-conicalscrewthreaded larger end adapted to engage the interior of the cone to draw the inner end mandrel and the cone.

larger end a sharp projecting screw thread}; to engage the interior of the cone to draw it upon the mandrel onlrelative rotation: of the mandrel and the cone.-

'4. A holder for a cone of yarn,

ing mandrel having two spaced engaging surfaces of different diameters, the larger of sai'd surfaces being frusto-conical and screw-threaded to engage the interior of the cone of yarn to draw the cone into contact; with the other engaging surface on'relative rotation of the coneiand the mandrel. 5. A holder fora cone of yarn, comprising a rod, two spaced engaging members of! different diametersfixed on said rod, the larger of said members being frusto-conical and screw'threaded to engage the interior, of the cone of yarn to draw the cone into contact with the other engagingmember on relative rotation of the cone andqthe -man- Y'- drel, and means for varying the distance between the said engaging members to provide for holding cones of. different dimen-f sions.
